Dear Sri Chinmoy, 

Thank you very much indeed for your second letter of 21 April.

My schedule for the month of May is now firm, and I am very happy to be able to tell you that I will be present at the performance of Siddhartha becomes the Buddha on the evening of Friday, 25 May in White Plains.

I am eagerly looking forward to the occasion.

With my warm esteem, 

— U Thant
